Neighborhood Café & Bar — Restaurant in Abu Dhabi

I recently visited the Neighborhood Café and, while the atmosphere was friendly thanks to the great customers, I encountered some significant issues. Let me break it down.

Mixed Service and Average Food: Some staff members were welcoming and friendly, while others seemed quite indifferent and unengaged. The food itself was pretty average—not particularly memorable in either direction.

Hygiene Concerns: This is where my main concern lies. I’ve been to fine restaurants that also don’t necessarily require gloves, but they have very strict hygiene standards. They monitor their staff, ensure thorough cleanliness, and sometimes even conduct health checks.

Unfortunately, at the Neighborhood Café, I witnessed a staff member leave the restroom and go straight back to the kitchen without washing their hands. They also don’t wear gloves, which by itself isn’t necessarily a problem if there’s good hygiene, but here it just highlighted a larger issue. There was no soap available in the restroom, and it made me wonder about the overall cleanliness and health standards. It’s one thing not to wear gloves if you’re ensuring proper hygiene in other ways, but here it seemed like they didn’t meet even the basics. This left me feeling quite uncomfortable about the food...

This is very bad cafeteria always come cockroach from the food and whenever I order food, I suffer a lot. They don’t deliver in the room but while taking order they don’t inform and they don’t torture people. They took peoples money and they never return it back and this is their pathetic service do not order food from there. I order food and I waited almost 40 minutes after that they were calling and they were saying they cannot deliver the food and that guy is in the reception. He is very bad attitude. He is always showing attitude. Whenever you order the food he will say we cannot deliver now we can deliver after 40 minutes after 40 minutes. He will say I cannot deliver now. You need to come down to take your order. This is what they have behaviour and when you the customer complain that why don’t you tell in the beginning, then he will say that don’t waste our time. This is what they do. This is what they behaviour and attitude towards a customer who is hungry who ordered the food. They want them to wait 40 minutes and after 40 minutes, they say that we cannot...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at your establishment, and I felt compelled to express my utmost delight with the entire experience.

The ambience was simply perfect, creating an inviting and memorable atmosphere. However, it was the culinary journey that truly stole the show. The food was nothing short of amazing, with each dish showcasing a remarkable blend of flavors and creativity.

I must particularly commend the dessert selection, and in particular, the Acai Cheesecake. It was an absolute masterpiece! The infusion of acai truly elevated the taste of the cake to new heights, creating a delightful and unforgettable treat. I can confidently say that it's one of the best desserts...
